Sunday Snippet: Just One Moment (Paranormal)

Ohio is back tobeing contrary with its weather. Super cold days in the teens followed by a warmupof midfifties. My sinuses hate this kind of back and forth.

Had a fairly busywork week with a new project landing in my inbox. It's one of my favoriteauthors to edit and proofread for. Also spent a lot of time pulling my taxstuff together. I realized last week I hadn't filed for 2023 yet. Better latethan never.

Not a bad week ofviewing. I didn't make a full round of my usual slate of shows, but I got mostof the way through. Again, my sleep schedule is playing havoc with my brain.

Watched another episodeof Mr and Mrs Murder and thoroughly enjoyed it. A lot of familiar facesin this one, which is always fun.

Caught another episodeof London Kills and I'm kind of excited about Rob and Vivienne teamingup to investigate David. Of course, there's more to the story and I can't waitto find out what's really going on.

Enjoyed anotherepisode of Death in Paradise. I'd seen most of this one but it's nice tofollow the whole story from beginning to end instead of catching bits andpieces all the time.

Finished up seasontwenty-seven of Silent Witness. Gotta say, I really enjoyed the finale.Jack proposing to Nikki made my heart happy. And I'm interested to see whathappens with Jack's place. Maybe Kara and Velvy will stay there.

Watched anotherepisode of Elementary and enjoyed it. Still not a Mycroft fan even if hehad extenuating reasons for being an ass. I am kind of glad Sherlock isn'tgoing to throw his brother under the bus. At least I don't think he is. Thenext episode should reveal what will happen.

And that's it forthe life update this week. Tonight's post is from Just One Moment, athemed sexy short written in tandem with my other two alter egos.

Here's the miniblurb:

A life-threatening situation and a couple in love. Justone moment for Sygin and Boyd to say everything that needs to be said.

And a preview snippet…

Sygin stalked out of the meetingchambers barely hanging on to her temper. "I can't believe they're takinga wait-and-see approach." An attempt to invade the campus should warrant aresponse.Boyd fell into step beside her."Not sure why they think what happened over the solstice holiday is aone-off. Especially when they recommended the precautions." He tsked.Sygin shook her head. "I'm notrelying on the buddy system. Too many things can go wrong. Are we really goingto let this play out until someone gets hurt?" Her blood boiled over thestupid bureaucracy.Because even if their nemeses wereonly trying to test the boundaries of dark magick—as the council concludedduring the meeting—the sinister aspect of using their campus should have themall worried a hell of a lot more than they were.Boyd snorted. "You know betterthan that." He stopped at the edge of the corridor and tugged her into atesting alcove. "We're going to take chances with our students. We'regonna start preparing our quad to act as an early warning system." Heflicked his gaze toward the clock on the wall. "Starting tonight."Sygin's lips curved. "See.That right there is the reason we're together." He practically read hermind on the way to skate the line of being proactive while not outrightthumbing their noses at the council.Boyd narrowed his eyes. "Ithought we were together because I make you scream my name during sex."Sygin laughed. "Not gonna lie.That's a big part of it also." She sobered. "But you're the wholepackage, which is infinitely more appealing than your expertise in bed." Whichactually said a lot because Boyd played her like a maestro between the sheets.He grasped her hips and hauled hercloser. "That's good to know." His fingers tilted her chin up and hismouth captured hers.Sygin leaned into the kiss. Boyd'stongue swept against hers, dueling for dominance. The man had magick in hislips. And his hands. And, well, everywhere else. She wound her arms around hisneck and let all of her anger go, relaxing into his embrace.He eased back, tracing her thumbover her jawline. "I'd love nothing more than heading back to our place tofinish what we started here, but…" He dropped a kiss on her nose.Sygin sighed. "Right. It'llhave to wait." Her palms slid down his chest. "We've got work to doand no time for the undeniably more fun option." Stepping back, she hookeda finger into his waistband. "But we're picking this back up after we makea plan with our quad."Boyd gave her a wicked smile."I'll hold you to that."Sygin smirked. "You'dbetter."

I like writing inthis universe. Boyd and Sygin have a couple more stories coming in the near future.

 

That's it for thisweek.

Cheers!
